As the season progresses, there are always new lessons to be learned. One thing the Tigers learned in their game with the Judson Rockets was a losing record does not mean a loser of a team. Judson, 4-7, gave the Tigers all they could handle until a touchdown with 58 seconds remaining would bring Dripping Springs all the way back from a 17-point deficit in the second half to a 38-34 victory to advance to the regionals. It had been 60 years since last the Tigers played the Rockets and did not have a win in the two games. That means Dripping Springs will be paired with San Antonio John Jay (10-2) and the Tigers (10-2) will be practicing on Thanksgiving, a plateau every team strives to achieve. The game will be played at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Saturday with kickoff time being 11 a.m.

The Dripping Springs High School football team began its playoff run successfully as they hosted a former district foe in the form of Vista Ridge High School.

The trick for the golf program is to play about half your season in the fall when the Texas weather is still warm enough to enjoy the game.
